    David,


    I hope you don't mind, I took a few steps that, I think, bring out the exceptional beauty in this young lady.

    The first was to crop to about a 11"x14". I used Levels to lift the image slightly, and then Curves, to mostly emphasize the highlights, then some USM with a little extra on the eyes.

    What do you think? I can remove it if you want, no problem. (I bet others can do better than I can.)

    Thanks,

    The crop works and the increased saturation is nice but I like the softness of the original better.

    David, it's a great picture ans she's a cuttie. You should keep her!thumb.gif

    I thought the first is too soft. Looks out of focus to me. Maybe the second isn't soft enough though? Second looks grainier to me too.

    I intentionally gave her a soft focus but I appreciate the feedback.:):
